In All My Dreams I Choke On Invisible Smoke is a HTML5 unsettling visual novel/point and click exploration game about a high school student who begins to have surreal dreams, with some small inspiration to Yume Nikki as well. This VN has 2 endings, but I only did one... for now. I might have a follow up, but we will see.

Overall, without spoiling much or a lot, this game/vn is very interesting. Visuals are really good, the really weird NPCs do really talk in riddles and symbolisms, and they really are a mystery and interesting as well. And the NPCs are likely the one of the things in the game that has inspiration to Yume Nikki. During the reality segments, I like the side art of the character, and the drawing of representation, of how they are and feel, on the current segment or situation they are in, it's a pretty nice touch! There's also a number of political and religious talks going on in this game. Despite being a short game/vn, I think the analysis require for this game is a very deep one to understand it. Overall, very interesting, and really mysterious. I might also need to see what the other ending one was, to fully grasp and share like a short insight. Ofc, I'm sorry I don't really share long analysis in games and things, but maybe one day.

Anyway, I hope you enjoy!
